Following the news that Donald Trump will not appoint a single Latino cabinet member, Tom Perez issued this statement:

"Tomorrow, the most unqualified and unpopular president in modern history will be sworn in. Not only is Donald Trump unqualified, but he has also embarrassed our country with the people he has chosen to lead our government. After demonizing Latinos throughout his campaign, Trump broke precedent going back decades of having a Latino voice in the cabinet. Trump's refusal to invite a Latino voice to the table is unacceptable and a slap in the face to our entire community. I won't stand for this and that is why I'll be organizing with progressives across the country to fight back."
